About Me

I am currently a 6th year Ph.D. candidate at CMU. My research interests are in cyber-physical systems and Programming Languages. I’m working on TTPython, a domain-specific programming language and runtime designed to make distributed, energy-constrained, and time-sensitive applications easier to program. You can give a try here!
